Counterpoint Press, 2003

Evil in history from both ends of the telescope
Gerard Donovan's debut novel "Schopenhauer's Telescope (ST)" is an impressive literary work of fiction that was longlisted for the Booker Prize. Set somewhere unidentified in Eastern Europe, the smell of death, destruction and ethnic cleansing permeates the air from its opening pages. You know something evil is about to happen and shortly - the chapters are structured by the hours of a day - but ...

Peace through strength or militay disarmament?
Good read. Phyllis Schlafly and Chester Ward make the case for peace through strength. This expose of Kennedy-Johnson-McNamara's 1964 plans to weaken the military through funding cuts calls attention to the same voices we are hearing today. The title "Gravediggers" describes those who are actually helping dig our grave for the enemies who would kill America and our freedom. How? by disarming our ...

The Gravedigger File: Papers on the Subversion of the Modern Church

Os Guinness

Intervarsity Pr, 1983

Funny, Thoughtful, Provocative, and Enlightening
Os Guinness, in this work, presents the Church in America and the problems that beset it. All written in a series of communiques from the enemy "Directorate." It has the same feel of The Screwtape Letters, and a fascinating idea of the way of the "Third Fool" as being the way to break through the present-day irrelevance, bickering, factionalism, marketing, and paranoia that are strangling the ...

Immanuel Velikovsky

William Morrow & Co, 1983

Academic witch-hunt of the century
This book outlines what will probably, in future times, be regarded as about the worst example of scientific suppression ever to take place. After being vetted and passed by a number of scientists, Velikovsky's first book (Worlds in Collision) became a bestseller overnight. No sooner had it been released however than a group of scientists, led by Professor Harlow Shapley of Harvard, threatened ...

in response to oh come on and dabman
I'm not sure if they're idiots or cowards, or merely people with poor taste. Gravedigger's Birthday is Ward's best book. The reasons are numerous, but my favorite is that Ward has found plausible rhymes for "orange" and "purple." Who else has done that? Oh Come On and Dabman are the perfect reason to disregard anonymous reviews. They sound like the fat, arthritic slobs I hear every Tuesday ...
